I had a calamity with 1350 base and os. I put Marquise ruby in and got 1710 avg.
Top of the line calamity.
I had 3aps. Which looks like big paper dps, bit it's all based on speed.
I switched to a 1250 manticore. Put marq ruby and emerald in and damage is much higher, with 2aps.
I thought of keep calamity for low mp but sold it first chance I got
Manticore min damage and crits are just too high for a calamity to match.


Besides, speaking directly from dps vs hatred spent manticore always wins.

One time calamity works is with a huge ehp setup with aid turret and stormshield.

But that setup vs a manticore with sharpshooter and impale....manticore can win!

Anyone can help me by giving me some advice to how to upgrade my DH?

I know it isn't the top of the line gears but, please.

Thanks.

I'd suggest crafting a dex ammy. They always have mass dex and I get other useful mods most of the time. Well worth it.

Is this best on a demon hunter for paragon lvl

skills and passive

Active Skills

Bola shot - Volatile Explosive
Elemental Arrow - Ball Lightning
Shadow Power - Gloom
Vault - Tumble
Preparation - Backup Plan
Companion - Bat Companion

Passive Skills

Night Stalker
Tactical Advantage
Vengeance

Thank you for the reply, sir.

Will be working on it. Thanks.

My demon hunter just dinged 60 after 14 hours of farming, but now I am stuck with what to do now. I have checked a few guides, and as far as I have understood low mp farming is for the best. I can spent around 5 to 10 million on my build. What do you guys suggest?

edit: I am also new to this patch. Should I just craft my gear? If so where should I search for the recipes?

No worries bro...I can give you the plans later today when I get online -- Just send me your battletag

Also guys, I wanted to see what you other DHs have found to be the most effective route to take for Demonic Essences FOR DEMON HUNTERS -- SOLO per min/hour -- I have been farming these and I am happy with what I seem to be getting. However, I would like to truly test this out and record the Numbers and Time. Any other DHs out there wanna help me test it out? Suggest Routes? Skill specs? I will focus on comparing my route vs VOTA runs in mp1-3 along with my favorite skill spec, Strafe.

I can kill most elite packs by placing 5 traps from full hatred on MP4 with this build: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#aidgQh!ZUb!cabYaZ
That is about 1 Shadow Power if I need to use that.
(I take down extra health yellow mobs to ~25% health with 5 traps)
I can easily kill elite packs in MP5-6 with this build but killing trash mobs is too slow. (I haven't found a good Elemental Arrow quiver for cheap yet and max 14% bonus is not that good like 50% Weapon Throw on 300th spear for barbs)

I farm skycrown+keeps 2-3 or BCM+VotA+Alcarnus when I want to get DE. (there are too many fleeing enemies in rakkis and crater 2 for spike traps, it takes ages to kill those birds or fat mages on higher MP)
Or same build with Cluster Arrow - Loaded for Bear and grenadier passive on MP1 (crater2+keeps 2-3+rakkis backwards to previous wp) for 2-4 shotting elite packs when I want to maximize xp/h instead of DE/h (I'm paragon 97)

The build is explained in the guide in my sig.
